Description

Mad Hatter has a large, green top-hat with a darker green band going around the funnel. A yellow tag sticks up from under the band. In LEGO Batman it reads 10/6, but this detail was removed for LEGO Batman 2. He has, long, slanted, light brown eyebrows and buck teeth. He wears a green jacket which opens more as the torso goes downwards, first revealing the top of a white, button-up shirt, then a large, red-bow tie, and finally a vest checkered with two different shades of purple. Hatter has yellow gloves and orange legs. On the portable versions of LEGO Batman, he has short legs.

In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, The Mad Hatter is a boss and a playable character. He carries a small handgun, can double jump (due to a propeller built into his hat), and use mind control on certain targets or to open certain doors. He is unlockable for purchase after the level, The Joker's Home Turf.

He also has two playable vehicles, Mad Hatter's Steamboat and Mad Hatter's Glider. Other than roam around in their respective environments, water and sky, and in the glider's case, shoot lasers, they have no abilities.

On the Nintendo DS version, he is able to go through chutes and drop bombs to destroy silver objects.

In LEGO Batman 2, both of these abilities are removed. He now uses just a melee attack and can jump no higher than Batman.
